Chapter 106: You taught me these principles, do you still remember them?
Gu Ningning noticed that Gu Zhendong's expression was off, and quietly tugged at her mother's clothes.
"What's wrong."
Gu Ningning gestured with her chin in the direction of Gu Zhendong.
Only then did Gu's mother notice that her eldest son's face was somewhat gloomy.
"You mean you don't want treatment?" Gu's mother sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), looking at her eldest son.
a long time.
"Does Mother also despise me for being a useless person?"
Gu Zhendong suddenly said this.
Both Gu's mother and Gu Ningning were taken aback.
"What are you saying? How could your mother dislike you?"
Upon hearing this, Gu's mother was somewhat surprised, and her voice unconsciously rose two octaves.
However, in the eyes of the mentally fragile Gu Zhendong, this change was like trying to hide something obvious.
Gu Zhendong couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"Wasn't it a fact that I'm a useless person already set in stone a year ago?"
"Didn't Fengxia leave because of me, so that she would be a cripple for the rest of her life, until she died?"
"It's already a fact, Mother... why do you still say that Su Niannian can cure me?"
"I can be cured?... Heh." Gu Zhendong laughed self-deprecatingly.
Gu Zhendong's words left Gu's mother speechless for a moment.
You know your own son best.
Gu Zhendong, though still alive a year ago, had lost his spirit along with his legs.
For more than a year, he was like a walking corpse, without any positive or sunny side.
Now that hope has arrived, he also feels that it is the world mocking him.
Deep down, he had already decided that he would be a useless person for the rest of his life.
Especially today, my wife, whom I've loved for so many years, told me she wanted a divorce.
Gu's mother patted Gu Ningning on the shoulder, "You stay with your older brother." Then she prepared to leave.
As she reached the door and lifted the curtain hanging on it, Gu's mother stopped.
"You are my child, the child I carried for ten months and risked my life to give birth to. Anyone in the whole world can abandon you, but I will never."
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, as long as there is a slight possibility, our family should stick together and face it together, shouldn't we?"
After leaving those two sentences, Gu's mother strode away from Gu Zhendong's room.
When she left, Gu's mother felt her legs were a little weak.
Su Niannian waited at the door, helped Gu's mother, and escorted her back to her room.
When Gu Zhendong heard those two sentences from his mother, tears streamed down his face.
Gu Ningning climbed from the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) onto the bed without even taking off her shoes, and climbed next to her older brother.
She reached out and hugged her older brother's neck.
"Big brother, do you remember when I was little, I was playing in the courtyard and I fell down. What did you say to me?"
Before the Gu family was sent to the countryside, they had already moved to a big city.
At that time, we lived in a family compound.
Gu Ningning was still young at the time and fell down in the compound.
When the other children saw this, they laughed at her.
At this moment, Gu Zhendong returned and saw Gu Ningning lying on the ground, crying with her face covered in tears and mud.
He picked up Gu Ningning and told her.
"If you fall down, you have to get up. You will fall down many times in your life, and you will get up many times."
"Small difficulties can be overcome by yourself, but if there are big difficulties, your older brothers, parents, and others will all help you get back on your feet."
"Ningning, don't cry."
Gu Ningning was still young at that time, so she didn't know what those words meant.
However, Gu Zhendong said this more than once.
Therefore, Gu Ningning remembers.
"Big brother... Big brother is now a cripple."
Gu Zhendong's tears flowed like a kite with a broken string.
He always prided himself on being a real man and that he couldn't cry.
But at this moment, tears really flowed uncontrollably.
“We are a family, and Sister Niannian will soon be our family too.”
"Sister Niannian is really amazing, big brother. You can think about it more. It's okay, we have plenty of time."
Gu Ningning did not force her older brother to have Su Niannian treat her leg right now.
I just hope that my older brother can seriously consider whether he still wants this little bit of hope.
Gu Ningning continued to rely on her older brother.
I said it silently in my heart.
"We will always be one family."
Gu Zhendong silently shed tears, his tear-filled eyes fixed on his legs.
On the other side, Su Niannian was also trying her best to comfort Gu's mother.
Fortunately, Gu's mother listened to what Su Niannian said.
"My brother felt that his legs were ruined, and so was his life, so he lost hope for the future. This is a psychological problem, and it will take time."
“I believe that even if my brother doesn’t want treatment now, he will eventually understand.”
"Why don't you wait until you go to the hospital for a check-up and confirm that your lung disease is cured, then we can chat again."
"Then it will be more convincing, don't you think?"
Su Niannian analyzed the situation for Gu's mother.
Gu's mother also felt that Gu Zhendong's mental illness was more serious than his leg problem.
This can't be rushed. We need to heal the emotional wound first with love and patience, and then treat the leg.
Anyway, it's already been more than a year, so Gu's mother doesn't mind waiting a little longer.
"Okay." Gu's mother patted Su Niannian's hand.
"Niannian, thank you." Gu's mother's thank you was sincere.
She was truly grateful for Su Niannian's arrival.
"Don't mention it, we're practically family now anyway." Su Niannian said, feeling a little shy.
After a while, Gu Ningning came out after comforting Gu Zhendong.
Just then, Gu Nan arrived home on his bicycle, carrying a lot of things.
When I got back, I saw Su Niannian there too.
With a smile on his face, Gu Nan parked his bicycle.
"Tsk tsk tsk, so this is the second son of the Gu family. Look at you, all ruddy-faced. Did you go to the county town for fun?" Su Niannian said deliberately.
After all, he sneaked off to the county town without even telling me.
Gu Nan was taken aback when he heard Su Niannian say that.
But soon, he came over with his bicycle and the things in the bamboo basket hanging on it.
"Aren't we getting married? I bought you a lot of things today."
Gu Nan placed the items on the table, and the first thing that caught his eye was the fabric.
To be fair, Gu Nan does have some sense of aesthetics.
Unlike some rough rural men who only like dark-colored, dirt-resistant fabrics, he is nothing like some rural men.
The bright red floral fabric, the white small floral fabric, the light blue and other styles of fabric all look quite nice.
Besides the fabric, the cups, kettle, and washbasin were all bright red, in a wedding style.
There were also some soaps and even silk scarves.
There are quite a few styles of items.
Gu Ningning's eyes practically popped out of her head.
"Oh my god, second brother, you bought so much stuff?" Gu Ningning covered her mouth, looking surprised.
